Inn Break
We are set to begin! The New Zealand players take the field. Followed by Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy who walk out to bat for Bangladesh. Tim Southee to start with the ball.
... Second innings ...
Not what New Zealand envisioned for themselves. Their plan would’ve been to get 400 runs on the board but credit to Bangladesh spinners who spun a web around the batters and restricted the Kiwis to 328 runs. Mehidy Hasan led the bowling attack for the visitors and he picked up 3 wickets. Mominul Haque took the final wicket to end things for the Kiwis. Henry Nicholls could not get much support from the other end, he fought a lone battle and if not for him New Zealand would've never crossed the 300-run mark.

Mehidy Hasan To Neil Wagner OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Tossed up nicely, around off, spinning away. Neil Wagner lunges forward and tries to block. The ball goes off the outside edge and Liton Das takes the catch. Bangladesh appeals for it but the umpire is unmoved. They are very confident that there was an edge there. Mominul Haque challenges the umpire. UltraEdge shows there was a spike when the ball passed the bat. Excellent review from Bangladesh. So, Neil Wagner walks back for a golden duck. Mehidy Hasan is on a hat-trick now.
Neil Wagner is the new man in.

We are set for the first session! The players stride out to the middle. Henry Nicholls walks out in the middle and is accompanied by Rachin Ravindra. Ebadot Hossain to complete his over.
Bangladesh on the other hand, need wickets. Shoriful Islam was the pick of the lot and needs support from the other end to scalp the remaining 5 wickets and try to restrict New Zealand under 300. An interesting first session coming up shortly.
New Zealand would want to post a big first innings total. The foundation was laid by Devon Conway and Will Young and with Henry Nicholls still on the crease, the Kiwis would look to pile as many runs as possible. In posting a hundred on Saturday, Conway became just the sixth man in history and the first since Michael Clarke in 2004 to score a century in his first Tests at both home and away. Australian duo Harry Graham and Kepler Wessels, Pakistan's Azhar Mahmood and England's Sir Andrew Strauss are the other men to achieve the rare feat.
Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh. New Zealand will be fairly satisfied with the runs they have on the board while Bangladesh would be happy too as the bowlers chipped up 3 wickets in the final session of Day 1 and didn't let their opponents run away with the game. Let's see what Day 2 has in store for us.
... Day 2, Session 1 ...
Right then! The visitors will be happy with the wickets they picked in the final session and would look to build on the same. New Zealand, on the flip side, would want Henry Nicholls to bat for long and get close to the 350-run mark. The action continues on Sunday, January 2, 2022. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 am IST (10 pm GMT, previous day). But the build-up will begin much in advance. Do join us for that. Till then, cheers!
Devon Conway is up for a chat. He says that it was very challenging to bat upfront and the wicket was green. Mentions that it got a lot better lately and is happy to contribute. Tells that Bangladesh bowled pretty well and it was all about being patient. Adds that they are disappointed that they lost Tom Blundell at the end but feels that they are still in a strong position. On his wicket, he says that it is the last way one wants to get out after all the hard work but that's how it goes.
Bangladesh started the first hour of the day really well but looked to have lost their track as the ball kept getting old and there was no movement off it. The pitch too got better and better to bat. Bangladesh bowlers toiled very hard and gained rewards with three wickets in the final session. That would certainly boost their confidence after ending the day on a positive note.
After losing Tom Latham early on and Will Young before Tea, Devon Conway and Ross Taylor batted really well and the runs kept coming at a brisk rate after the Tea break. Taylor was struggling to find the middle of the blade initially but got into his rhythm and struck some beautiful shots but unfortunately, he slipped out once he tried to up his ante. Later, Nicholls came in and made his intentions clear with his aggressive shots. But soon after, Conway was sent back as well and at the stroke of Stumps, they lost Tom Blundell as well. The Kiwis are still in a commonding position though and would look to pile as many runs as possible on Day 2.
What a great comeback by the visitors in the final session of the day. It was all about New Zealand in the first two sessions, but the hosts lost Devon Conway who was well set and then lost Tom Blundell at the stroke of Stumps. Bangladesh would be happy with their bowling performance and would hope to end things early on Day 2.

Ebadot Hossain To Tom Blundell OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! Bangladesh do get a wicket in the final over of the day. Back of a length, outside off, Tom Blundell stands up on his toes and looks to punch. Plays a little late as the ball goes off the inside edge and goes back to disturb the stumps. Bangladesh would have loved a couple of wickets in the final session and they have got exactly that. Tom Blundell walks back dejected. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 1!
